Adventure Tours - Specialist operators who offer adventure activity tours. Companies may offer adventure activities only or also a package to include accommodation and alternative things to do such as sightseeing.

Please note that this should not be operators who only offer coach hire (the transport category should be chosen in this case).

Companies offering day tours or operate out of small minibuses should be categorised under sightseeing not coach holidays.

Cruise Operators - Companies operating cruises around the Wales coast.

Cycling Tours – Operators offering cycling holidays in Wales, guided or self-guided. 

Destination Management Companies (DMC) / Wholesaler / Groundhandler – DMC's – companies with specialist local knowledge who handles all bookings and arrangements for tours, usually tailor-made. Groundhandlers make arrangements for travellers from overseas from the moment they arrive in the UK until the moment they leave. Their work involves managing the visitor experience whilst international tourists are in the country. Wholesalers develop and supply inclusive tour packages and accommodation through retail travel agents who sell on to consumers. They often sell to other elements of the Travel Trade such as tour and coach operators and not directly to consumers.

Golf Tours - Operator providing golf holidays in Wales. They will book everything including each round of golf, caddies, accommodation and sightseeing. 

Incoming - These are operators based in the UK who deal with overseas operators. Incoming tour operators basically offer the same services as ground handlers although they are more likely to offer their own programmes and not essentially custom-made programmes. They may also get involved with actually getting the clients here in the first place i.e. booking their flights where as a ground handler only gets involved once they arrive in the UK.

Online Travel Agent (OTA) - work in the same way as a tour operator however are purely online. For example Expedia, booking.com, Viator. 

Sightseeing & Tours – Operators offering sightseeing tours of Wales. For example general tours which includes visiting castles, historic sites, railways, national parks, coastline - basically showcasing the highlights of Wales.

Special Interest Tours - Operators offering special interest tours.
